Hello all,

 

Does anyone own a copy of the October 1987 edition of Railway Modeller who could confirm something for me?

 

The magazine contained a layout I believe called ‘Holkham Granpus’. I was intrigued as to whether it was a layout based on Holkham, on the Wells Next Sea - Heacham line or something else.

 

There’s a copy for sale on eBay but wanted to see what the layout of was before purchasing.

 

Thanks in advance.

From the article in question - RM, October 1987, p.399.

 

"Holkham is in north-east Norfolk situated on the coast between Wells-next-the Sea and Brancaster. .....

 

The model is based on the same area of Norfolk as the prototype, but with poetic licence. It is now a terminal station serving a small seaside resort situated at the end of the main line from Norwich, which is mainly single tracked. A single track branch line also runs in from Wells. ....."

The article comprises eight pages including two with colour photographs, and also features on the cover.
